Here is how wars are started, without your knowing about it;

"Introduced less than a month ago, Resolution 362, also known as the Iran War Resolution, could be passed by the House as early as next week.

The bill is the chief legislative priority of AIPAC. On its Web site, AIPAC endorses the resolutions as a way to ''''''''''''''''Stop Iran''''''''s Nuclear Program" and tells readers to lobby Congress to pass the bill. In the Senate, a sister resolution, Resolution 580, has gained co-sponsors with similar speed. The Senate measure was introduced by Indiana Democrat Evan Bayh on June 2. It has since gained 19 co-sponsors.

The bill''''''''s key section "demands that the president initiate an international effort to immediately and dramatically increase the economic, political, and diplomatic pressure on Iran to verifiably suspend its nuclear enrichment activities by, inter alia, prohibiting the export to Iran of all refined petroleum products; imposing stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran; and prohibiting the international movement of all Iranian officials not involved in negotiating the suspension of Iran''''''''s nuclear program."

"Imposing stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran" can be read to mean that the president should initiate a naval blockade of Iran. A unilateral naval blockade without UN sanction is an act of war."

Last year was the deadliest year yet for U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and U.S. casualties in Afghanistan are already up more than 50% this year.

There is nothing to be proud of about what we have done to the people and to the country of Afghanistan.

We should get out of that entire region.

We have no legitimate business there.

Getting our own cleptocratic regime members behind bars should remain our top priority.

Maybe the ugly truth is Iraq and protecting oil supplies in the Persian Gulf ARE more important right now, at least until the U.S. implements a balanced energy policy with an emphasis away from oil. The new hybrid, electric, fuel cell and others vehicles look very promising and can''t come on line soon enough!

There is no sense pointing out the obvious to the deaf dumb and blind administration as to why Afghanistan hasn''t rid itself of foreign Taliban terrorists.
